The main goal of Santa Barbara City College’s Early Alert to Student Success Program is to increase student success by having faculty refer students who are having difficulties in their courses to related Student Support Services on campus. SBCC’s Early Alert to Student Success program asks faculty to use SARSALRT to make referrals to student support services on campus.

SARSALRT is a web-based software that allows faculty to easily and quickly make referrals to relevant student support services on campus. Students are notified of the faculty’s concerns via their SBCC Pipeline Email and are encouraged to take advantage of the recommended services. Once the student utilizes the referred support service, an email is sent to the referring faculty letting the faculty know that the referral has been completed.
